Palestine – How Israel destroyed a Nation

Palestine is a global tragedy. A holocaust caused by the will and support of the world leaders. Europeans and Americans supported financially and militarily to strengthen Israel in Middle East as a national policy. In the process, millions of Palestinians lost their homes, their livelihood, their land and were made refugees in a homeland where they had resided for over a thousand years.

Israel has slaughtered their women, massacred their children and imprisoned the youth and continues to keep them locked up in Gaza with no humanitarian aid.

The world is quick to condemn Hamas if they resist Israeli atrocities, but never once reprimanded Israel for openly killing women and children for the past sixty years. America's continued blanket support of Israel, regardless of their countless human rights violations, has shown the world their policy of support of apartheid and hypocrisy. They have never once condemned Israel for killing innocent women and children, but have always armed Israeli army with latest weapons that Israel continues to use against civilian population.

The world commemorates holocaust every year. They retell stories to the young ones of genocide in order for them to learn that such acts should never happen again. Yet, we sit idle as Israel is allowed to carry out a modern holocaust and genocide of people of Palestine. It seems that apartheid still lives on. Rather than the skin of the color, it is now ethnic and religious in nature.

It is quite disappointing how CNN, BBC and other Western TV channels shy away from openly condemning Israeli atrocities. It is shameful to see United States “abstain” from voting in UN Security Council when it condemns Israeli brutality. It is truly disheartening, when world leaders prefer to talk peace rather than “act” to make peace happen. America cannot hold the banner of the leader of the free world when it allows freedom in Gaza to be suppressed with his weapons and money.

Today, we all sit in our comfy chairs, watch television in our warm and cozy homes while the people of Palestine rot and die from Israeli bombs. They have no food, no electricity, no water. The children have no milk, no baby food, the injured have no medical care, the people have no warm clothes during the cold nights. We have let Israelis destroy any semblance of life in Gaza. Today, over a thousand lay dead in Gaza morgue and 5,000 injured in the cramped and over crowded hospitals. Almost 60% dead are either women and children which is a shocking shocking statistic. The death toll will rise in the coming days as the ruthless Israeli army continues on with its rampage.

God help us all, God help Palestinians as we, the so called human beings, are too cold and too disconnected from reality to do anything.
